I want to thank Dr. Griffin and his team for taking care of our beloved family dog Maggie. The team helped her through her journey and we found the team to be professional, caring, and treated Maggie and our family with respect. If you are looking for a a vet to not only address all your pets needs, you will also have a top notch team looking after a loved one. Thank you again for the care, comfort, and compassion you have shown my family. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for a competent vet in the area.

We had never been to this office before. After coming home from work and finding my best friend had passed away while I was gone, we started frantically looking for a vet that was still open for the night. They told us that as long as we could be there soon, they'd wait for us. Our tech and staff were extremely kind, considerate and patient with me as I was a complete wreck. I can't thank them enough.
We picked up Zoey's ashes and clay / foam paw print yesterday to also find they took ink paw prints, a nose boop, some wild flower seeds and a lock of fur. We found them by chance, but are incredibly greatfull for the compassion of the staff.

Your pets will be know by name here. I cannot find the words to describe just how confident I am with Dr. Griffin and his staff. The knowledge they have is only the beginning. They provide care with the utmost tenderness and care. You will not be over charged or receive any unnecessary care. This is A+ all the way.

I cannot begin to thank Dr. Griffin and the amazing staff here for their kindness and will to help. I am new to the area and had not established a regular vet in the area as of yet before a pup I was fostering had a medical emergency and needed to be seen ASAP. Without hesitation, the staff here and Dr. Griffin allowed us to come in and be seen/treated as emergency without question. During the process all the receptionist, vet techs, and client care went above and beyond helping us.
With this being said, I am moving my other two dogs here as their regular vet for wellness exams and any other needs and cannot wait to have a vet as eager and willing as Animal Care Center of Pasco County. Thank you again!

Dr. Maldonado and his staff are extremely accommodating, friendly, and take their work seriously. I brought a 4-month-old tortoise in who was very sick and he took the best care of her possible. He did everything in his power to make her comfortable and to care for her. They squeezed me in last minute for fluid injections and tube feedings each week, even if they were beyond busy. I will never forget the care they took of her. Unfortunately, she did pass away, but they did everything they could for her.
This is one of the best vet offices I've been to in a long time, and I won't ever go anywhere else for exotic pets. Thank you so much Dr. Maldonado and all the vet techs, I don't know what I would have done without this office.
